Le Roy was born in Liège on 28 July 1822, the only son of Louis-Nicolas Le Roy and Henriette Streel.[1] He studied philosophy at Liège University, graduating at the age of 19, and after abandoning a law degree went on to qualify as a teacher.[1] He taught at a secondary school in Tienen for a number of years from 1844, helping set up the Journal de l'Instruction publique in 1845. On 12 September 1848 he married Marie-Françoise Elisa Delvaux (1818–1902).[1] In 1850 he was appointed lecturer on logic and metaphysics at the University of Liège. He went on to lecture on archaeology (1853-1855; 1865-1875), aesthetics (1854-1879) and the history of philosophy (1874-1889). He was appointed extraordinary professor in 1856, full professor in 1862, and professor emeritus on 23 September 1889.[1]

He was elected a corresponding member of the Royal Academy of Science, Letters and Fine Arts of Belgium on 9 May 1870, a full member on 12 May 1873, and president in 1882.[2] He was a member of many other scholarly societies. He died in Liège on 2 March 1896.

gollark: Wrong.
gollark: No allegations of our alleged "time crimes" have allegedly been backed up by substantial evidence.
gollark: (on 6000 384-entry vectors, so actually this isn't very impressive)
gollark: I have a very fast but somewhat RAM-hungry implementation, and one which uses SQLite and makes it a (very badly optimized) user-defined function, and somehow the SQLite one takes less than a second to do anything.
gollark: I'm continuing with Project HOLISTIC OVERHANGS, which is the minoteaur semantic search functionality, and I'm basically just ranking a moderately sized set of vectors by cosine similarity to a query.
